AnonyMouse_14268 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Anyone know where I can get some jazzy tabards from? One day in and my work polo top already has a bleach stain on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Have you got any parents that can sew? Lots of people have taken up sewing recently, and they are very easy to make and you can pick your own fabrics. (maybe suggest your chairperson has a go! 😁) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_39998 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) my setting has worn the same colour tabard for many years, we have pretty much given up wearing them over our logo polo shirts and logo summer t shirts now, we have hoodies with our logo and names on the back for winter, the only thing I would say is ours have large pockets on the front which is very useful. Ours come from local supplier of a variety of work wear and they embroider the logos on. Perhaps they are rather old fashioned but I have to admit, some sort of apron is pretty practical.

AnonyMouse_30128 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 You see I question the fact that these garments show us in a 'care' role and not in education and care. They put forward the idea of us being cleaners rather than Ey professionals.(I admire cleaners btw ! But that's not my role) Would any teacher wear one of these? They come across to me as a sort of label that I dont want to be associated with..... Sorry this isnt at all helpful and not in the spirit of this post at all but for some reason this garment seems to push my buttons 🥺🥺🥺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(someone on Facebook was selling them as teachers aprons) Mind you, we have slightly derailed zigzags post (sorry zigzag 💐) as I think she was wanted more of a 'covid bleach protection' option 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_14268 Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 We wear polo shirts with our logo and I have little half apron things with a pocket for pens and post it’s, sometimes we wear them sometimes we don’t! I just wanted a temporary covering to stop the risk of bleach stain. In retrospect I think the disposable plastic aprons will be the way to go!

No need to apologise🤣 I love hearing people’s opinions, I used to have to wear them 20+ years ago when I worked at the day nursery and hated them!

Is it his ears? Not sure if this would be any good but years ago my dog grooming friend (the one that loaned me the afore mentioned thinning scissors 😂) used to breed afghans, she used to put what can only be described as 'boob tube' type thing over their ears.

AnonyMouse_43806 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I've never been a fan of tabards but looking to buy some now, simply so staff will have their own pen, ipad, hand sanitiser, tissues to hand rather than swapping around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
